Side Pain

Pain on the right side can come from problems at the ileocaecal valve or the appen¬dix or the large intestine itself. It can also come from the liver which is higher up but is sending its pain message to your side. Pursue it as an in¬testinal problem first, killing parasites and bacteria and normalizing bowel movements with the Bowel Program. If the pain persists, especially if it reaches up the side to the middle of the waist, it is probably due to the liver.

The liver is a large organ, mostly on the right side of the body, but with a smaller lobe on the left side. It is the chemical manufacturing plant for the body. It pulls in the food from the intestine (that you ate hours ago) and makes your body's chemi¬cals from them. Toxic items are changed chemically into non¬toxic items that the kidney is able to excrete into the bladder. Fatty things must be made water soluble for them to leave with the urine. The liver also makes bile and sends toxic items along with it to the intestine through the bile ducts. The bile enables calcium and fat to be absorbed. If the liver isn't getting much bile to the intestine, fat is left in the bowel contents and the feces will float in the toilet bowl. That is your clue to bile duct blockage.

Bile is bright green. Mixed with intestinal contents it turns the bowel movement dark brown. If the bile is not arriving in the intestine the bowel movement will stay light colored, even yellow or orange. This is another clue to bile duct blockage. Over a quart of bile should exit the body each day. Since bile is loaded with cholesterol this daily excretion of bile is a major method of keeping cholesterol levels low. If the bile ducts are choked with debris so only half as much (often only a cup instead of a quart!) bile is produced and excreted you can expect cholesterol levels to rise, and digestion to be bad. When food isn't promptly digested and absorbed the ever present, ever-ready bacteria will grab it for themselves.

Taking cholesterol-lowering drugs should be reserved for cases where natural excretion cannot be regained.

E. coli and other intestinal bacteria, which do no harm in moderate numbers, can overgrow in a few hours to give you bloating, gas and pain. Your body produces no gas. Only bacte¬ria can produce gas. If your side pain is accompanied by bloating and gas, you know you have a digestive problem. And that this digestive problem stems from a congested liver if the pain is directly under it or over it, or if the feces are light colored or your cholesterol levels are high. Not everybody has all the symptoms.

To clear the clogged passages of the bile ducts, you simply do the liver cleanse over and over until the problem is gone. There is one catch. If there are living parasites in the bile ducts, they will not let the bile ducts clear themselves. They are stuck fast to your ducts as a tick can be to your skin. They must be killed before they will let go. Zap them all, or you may use the herbal parasite program, staying on a twice a week maintenance program. Only after parasites are dead (after day 20 if using the herbal program) will you get a lot of "green stuff" and be able to clear "stones" out of your bile ducts. Only one large duct at a time will clean itself. We have hundreds of larger ducts and thousands of tiny ducts feeding into the larger ones! Stay on a schedule of cleansing the liver every two weeks (unless you are ill) until your side pain is gone, your digestion is normal, and you are bouncing with energy. You may also lose some weight, but only if you are overweight.

Remember that a clogged liver does not necessarily give you pain by itself. It is more likely the bacteria in the gall bladder and bile ducts, causing inflammation there and in your intestine, that cause pain. Don't wait till pain occurs over the liver. Use whatever clues you can to diag¬nose your clogged condition. Or just assume it is clogged. Do the cleanse, and see if you get any stones out. It can never hurt and can help a lot.

Bruce Hearn, 40ish, had severe side pain for several weeks and was rather gassy. He had seen a clinical doctor who found him in good health. But we found sheep liver flukes in the intestine and in the thymus! The thymus is an immunity-giving gland, so anything in the thymus is a very serious matter. He also had benzene in his thymus (inviting AIDS). He quickly switched from drinking soda to drinking milk. He went off everything in the benzene list. He killed the flukes electronically and started on the parasite program. Three weeks later the benzene was gone, his side was very much better and he could begin a kidney cleanse for his low back pain. He hadn't cleansed his liver yet! His improvement was probably due to improving his immunity which then controlled the bacteria.
